THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Satwik food must be less spicy, less salty and must have less amount of
tamarind (sourness). Not merely that, it must not be made up of excess oil,
must be fresh and must not be stale (food prepared in the morning should not be
taken in the evening). This is Satwik food. Some people consider milk as
Satwik. No doubt, milk, curds and fruits are Satwik in nature, but when
consumed in excessive amounts, they become Tamasik and make one dull and
sleepy. When we take curds in excess, we can become Tamasik. Hence reduce
having milk or curds in large quantities. It is good to mix one part of water
with one part of milk. The food you eat must have been earned and prepared
through the right means and should be offered to God before partaking. Only
then Satwik feelings will emanate in man. If the food is earned through
unrighteousness means, it will generate wicked feelings. (Divine Discourse, 'My
Dear Students', Vol 2, Chapter 2)
